Barely a few months after it changed its name on Instagram from @lawrenceemareyo_foundation to TMY News, the digital company has been named in the list of Nigeria’s most valuable brands circulating on the internet.
TMY News, founded by Ajayi Solomon, is the publicity arm of TMY Media which operates an entertainment e-commerce site, TMY Mart.
Ajayi, a tech guru, had previously worked with Bravo House of Entertainment until 2011 when he set out to found TMY (full meaning Tree Money Yard), a basic media production, marketing and management company.
With its focus mainly on entertainment and lifestyle productions, the TMY company has built a reputation for topnotch management of brands and businesses with a client base that includes major Nigerian companies, budding entrepreneurs, rave-of-the-moment skit makers and entertainers, popular politicians and public figures.
TMY Media’s range of services, which transcends the entertainment spectrum, includes A&R music services, artist management, brand development, social media management, podcast services and general Public Relations and promotion. The company also offers its studio for recording and podcast services and in recent times, has broadened its services to include celebrity photoshoots and events coverage.
Courtesy of TMY News, the news and publicity division of the company, the TMY media was ranked in the list of most valuable media brands circulating online recently.
Some of the online commentators who agreed that TMY News merited the recognition avowed that it owned one of the “most reliable media e-commerce websites” in Nigeria, while others pointed out that the company’s over seven years of digital marketing experience in the entertainment industry also contribute in no small measure to the recognition.
Since opening its websites ( tmymart.com and tmynews.com) the company’s services have become available to global customers leading to its popularity online.
